During a recent government meeting, a homeowner presented a request to modify their driveway curb cut from two to one, citing the need to revert to the original configuration that existed when they purchased the property. The homeowner explained that over the years, they had expanded their driveway to accommodate their family’s needs, particularly with two teenagers and multiple vehicles. However, they now seek to simplify the driveway back to its original state.
The discussion included inquiries from board members regarding the status of the driveway and whether any recent changes had been made. It was confirmed that the driveway had been altered, but the curb cut remained intact. The homeowner also shared personal circumstances, highlighting that their mother, who is undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, would benefit from the proposed change, as it would ease access to the home during her treatment.
The board acknowledged the emotional context of the request and reviewed letters of support from two neighboring residents. The meeting concluded with a commitment to further evaluate the request, taking into consideration both the practical and personal implications presented by the homeowner.
